Lena-Winslow achieves a memorable close to 2018 season REPORTER

The NUIC season was one that many area sports fans will remember, especially Lady Panthers fans who saw their team once again push opposition to the limit, before eventually succumbing to a Sectional finalist.

The Lady Panthers faded from the season after they ran into the Milledgeville Lady Missiles who came away with the Freeport Aquin Sectional Semi-Final win, 8-1. The four seed did not disappoint fans though.

They pulled off some big wins on their way to the short journey east and the second round.

Ciara Miller was nearly unhittable as she struck out twelve Lena-Winslow batters and limited the Lady Panthers on base opportunities.

Alexandra Schmidt covered all bases on her sixth inning shot to help secure the win for the two-seed Lady Missiles.

Lena-Winslow pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the post-season on Saturday, May 19, when they knocked off the NUIC-West Champion and overall number one seed, Eastland Lady Cougars, 6-4.

The win gave them the Regional Title and they earned it in front of the home fans.

Beating Eastland was something Lena-Winslow found itself able to do this season already. It wasn’t something that many teams in the West could accomplish though.

The Lady Cougars were 12-2 in head-to-head matches this year, but Lena-Winslow beat them on Tuesday, May 1, 4-0. The Lady Panthers grabbed the 1-0 edge after two and then added three insurance runs in the top of the seventh to collect the win.

A little over a week later Eastland returned the favor with a 5-0 win on Thursday, May 10. The Lady Pan-

thers closed the regular season on a .500 clip and ended regular season play with a 6-8 West mark and a five-game under .500 overall mark.

The boy’s baseball team didn’t see the type of success that their lady counterparts had this season. They worked through a regular season closing schedule that saw wins hard to come by. It changed when they entered the post-season however.

The Panthers were issued the eight-seed in this year’s 1A State Baseball Playoffs. That meant they had to play on opening day of the State Tournament. The advantage earned with the eight-seed gave them the home game and allowed ten-seed South Beloit to pay a visit.

Lena-Winslow knocked off South Beloit 9-5 in the playoff opener, which allowed them to stay home for the 1A Regional Semi-Final and a showdown with the top seed in the River Ridge Sectional Complex, Freeport Aquin.

The Bulldogs were 14-2 in the NUIC-East this year and carried a 21-3 mark into the post-season.

The record was good enough to earn them second place in the final standings, one game behind the 13-1 Forreston Cardinals, who were 24-3 this season. The Cardinals were Sectional Champions this year. They lost to Aurora Christian, 2-1, at the Super-Sectional this past week.

Lena-Winslow’s season ended as uniforms were turned in and the school district said goodbye to this year’s seniors. A strong class of younger players can take the summer off to get ready for the upcoming fall sports season and the first steps in defense of their Class 1A State Football Championship defense.

The volleyball season begins in mid-August with players asked to get registered and ready to practice, prior to the late August and early September matches.

The connection between posture and disabilities

tem care. Awareness, self-care, and other physical interventions render some spinal and postural problems both avoidable and reversible. Just How Bad is Bad Posture on Health Outcomes? Scientists conducted research to evaluate the effects of poor posture on rates of disability.

Researchers studied 884 people over the age of sixty-five by splitting them into four groups based on the quality of their posture. The first group contained patients with the best posture and the fourth group contained patients with the worst posture when compared to other patients. The conclusion proved an increased risk in need for assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) as posture deteriorated: • Group 1 versus Group 2: Group 2 had a 46% higher risk of need for ADL assistance • Group 1 versus Group 3: Group 3 had a 290% higher risk of need for ADL assistance • Group 1 versus Group 4: Group 4 had a 393% higher risk of need for ADL assistance The risk of disability increased proportionally

as posture deviation increased. The science involves the relationship between the spine and central nervous system. The nervous system directs the function of the entire body. The health of the spine plays a significant role on the function of the nervous system. Chiropractors help millions of people in all age categories achieve greater health and quality of life by focusing on the health and alignment of the spine to prevent or reverse the negative effects of stress on posture. Spinal and postural health represents one of the greatest health outcomes to measure and improve on a yearly basis. Three simple tips to prevent or reverse postural deterioration posture includes: 1) Seeking regular Chiropractic checkups and adjustments. 2) Moving the body regularly. Never sit for more than 90 minutes at a time during the day. 3) Maintaining good posture when sitting, sleeping, or working on the phone or computer. Bonus: Drink more water to hydrate spinal discs and muscles. Posture provides an external foundation to the body which protects the internal function of organs and systems. Chiropractic helps millions of people achieve optimal health that includes a reduction in the risk of disability every week through precise spinal rehab procedures and postural adjustments from CBP Doctors (cbppatient.com to find a CBP Doctor).

A strong foundation serves as the safety and security of a home. The foundation provides the structure with the ability to withstand wind and storms on the outside while maintaining the ability to provide shelter and security on the inside.

A similar relationship applies to the human frame. The foundation of the human frame contributes to the function and efficiency of the organism.

Achieving greater l evels of health and life quality depends on the quality and stability of the body’s foundation. The spine and posture serve as the foundation of the human frame.

These crucial features of the body directly influence function due to the relationship between the spine and the central nervous system. Recent headlines compared abnormal posture to smoking. Health advocates equate dormant sitting to the negative impact of smoking. Too many people remain unaware of the detrimental impact which accompanies abnormal spine and postural health. Statistics reveal that over 60% of the workforce sits in front of a computer as some part of their job. Spine and postural problems lead to a host of present and future health challenges.

VIEWPOINT Gov. Rauner signs law bringing independence, 4 • Wednesday, June 13, 2018 - Shopper’s Guide

transparency to legislative sexual harassment investigations Gov. Bruce Rauner has signed into law a measure that will increase independence in the investigation of legislative ethics complaints in Illinois. This new law, which makes significant reforms to the Legislative Ethics Commission and Office of the Legislative Inspector General, changes the process of handling ethics complaints to provide those who would come forward greater confidence that their concerns will be reviewed in a timely, transparent manner.

“This bill is a victory for the heroic women who have stepped forward to take on the culture of fear, abuse and retaliation that permeates too much of state government. Illinoisans should applaud this improvement and champion the women who stood up to Illinois’ political power structure in order to make this change happen.” Rauner said in his signing message. “Through

their courageous words and actions, they have declared that the culture in Springfield must change.”

Under HB 138 the Legislative Inspector General (LIG) will be allowed to conduct independent investigations into sexual harassment allegations without obtaining consent from the Legislative Ethics Commission (LEC). The new law will create an independent search committee to recommend candidates for LIG, establish new restrictions on political parties and lobbying firms, and bring greater transparency to the management of ethics complaints. It also makes it possible to hire a full-time LIG, instead of the current part-time position, to more quickly investigate ethics complaints.

“Those who have been subject to sexual harassment can now have greater confidence that the investigatory process will not be

controlled by those who are being investigated. The era of self-dealing in Springfield must come to an end,” Rauner said. “Victims should not live in fear that the truth they tell will bring more pain into their lives. That’s why I’m signing this bill – because it will help protect Illinois’ daughters, mothers, wives and others who dedicate their lives to improving state government.”

While this legislation is a step in the right direction, Rauner identified two critical flaws that should be addressed quickly by the legislature. First, the LIG should not need the legislature’s approval to investigate any type of ethics allegations.

“The same independent investigation that is needed for claims of sexual harassment is also needed for allegations such as bribery, fraud, prohibited political activity, and other crimes and ethics violations,” Rauner said, noting that

the legislature has the authority to make those changes.

Rauner also noted that the LEC, which oversees investigations of claims against legislators and legislative staff, should not be composed of legislators. Outside individuals, not connected to the legislative process, should be tasked with oversight of the General Assembly.

“Illinois has one of the nation’s highest rates of public corruption, and Illinoisans have the lowest confidence in their government compared to citizens of every other state. An independent Legislative Inspector General and independent commission are needed to help restore Illinoisans’ confidence in the legislature,” Rauner said.

While work remains to be done, Rauner commended the work of the members of the General Assembly who made this step forward possible, and urged them to continue

Congresswoman Bustos voted to pass the bipartisan Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2018.

This legislation takes critical steps in improving our nation’s water infrastructure through the authorization of Army Corps of Engineers’ water resources projects. Additionally, this legislation includes Congresswoman Bustos’ bipartisan bill, The Navigation Workers Protection Act, which will ensure that the operation, maintenance and repair of federally-owned locks and dams continues to be performed by skilled federal employees.

The Water Resources Development Act of 2018 passed on the heels of President Trump imposing a series of tariffs on key trading partners including China, Canada, Mexico and the European Union.

“By passing bipartisan legislation to invest in our water infrastructure, we’re making America more competitive in the global economy,” said Congresswoman Cheri Bustos. “Every year, more than 600 million tons of American goods pass through our inland waterways. Without a functional lock and dam system, there’s no way these high quality American

products would get to marketplaces around the world. I’m proud to have worked across the aisle to include an amendment that will help ensure our river systems run efficiently.

“However, we still have a long way to go. This is why Democrats introduced our Better Deal to Rebuild America - a $1 trillion investment that will create 16 million good-paying jobs rebuilding our nation.

“Despite this bipartisan progress on our waterways, I’m deeply concerned by how President Trump’s

trade war is making it harder for our manufacturers and agricultural producers to succeed. Hardworking Americans are doing their part already. Our farmers expect a trade policy from Washington that helps them grow their business rather than impulsive tariffs that undermine our economy.”

Congresswoman Bustos is a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee which advanced this legislation through Committee by unanimous consent on May 23, 2018.

pushing for reform.

“I have to applaud the Illinois Senate Women’s Caucus who really championed this issue and have made this advancement possible,” Rauner said. “I hope they will stay vigilant, and remain engaged as we continue to work together to take on this toxic culture of corruption in Springfield.”

The new law also makes various changes aimed at increasing transparency including requiring enhanced reporting of matters brought to the LEC and the Executive Ethics Commission, procedures for LEC members to recuse themselves, and addresses limitations concerning the sharing of information about complaints and the investigative process with complainants. It also allows the Secretary of State Inspector General to enforce rules that apply to lobbyists, providing for suspension or revocation of a lobbyist’s registration for a sexual harassment violation.

Each year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) makes billions of dollars in payments to farmers across the country. Farmers rely on this money as part of a safety net, which helps them mitigate risks involved with working in agriculture. Congress put in place common sense limits on farm program payments, but left damaging loopholes.

Currently, farmers are required to be actively engaged in farming to receive these payments. “Actively engaged” farmers should be on the farm or in the tractor, as well as investing in land, equipment, or providing capital for the farming operation.

Each corporation, LLC, or individual farmer meeting “actively engaged” eligibility criteria can receive payments. In 2015, USDA

Abuse of farm safety net harms rural America

paid $3.7 million to one farming operation comprised of two individuals and 32 corporations. The operation reported that 25 members (plus 10 spouses) contributed active personal management, but no personal labor in the field.

Support for these large farming operations works against other USDA programs, like beginning farmer loans, rural development programs, and more. The positive impact from those programs is diminished when corporate agriculture is strengthened by excessive and unnecessary farm program payments.

Taxpayer dollars shouldn’t be misguided to further drive farm consolidation, increase barriers for beginning farmers, and decrease the number of true family farms in our agricultural system. Instead, sound, effective payment limitations should be implemented and enforced to ensure taxpayer dollars aren’t funding the squandering of rural America.

GEORGE M. VISEL George M. Visel, 86 of Pearl City went to be with his Lord and Savior on Tuesday, June 5, 2018 at his home. He was born Aug. 11, 1931 in Evanston, IL to George and Maybelle Visel. He graduated from Evanston High School. After graduation he attended Bethel College in Minnesota where he met Marilyn.

They were married Dec. 27, 1952 in Freeport IL at First Baptist Church.

Eventually they made their home in Pearl City. George was a member of the Evangelical Free Church of Lena.

George served in the Korean War for two years as a radio dispatcher with the US Army. His love of golf gave him the opportunity to be a “Pro” at a golf course. George knew he wanted to work with young people so he turned down this opportunity to teach school. In 1958, George took a teaching position at the Pearl City High School, as a junior high science teacher, teaching until his retirement in 2005, giving 47 years to the same school district; something virtually unheard of today. George returned to college in 2002 and obtained his Master’s Degree in 2004. During his time at Pearl City High School he was instrumental in developing the golf team and coaching for 34 years.

He served as a Boy Scout leader, was a Pro-Marksman and a Sharpshooter, receiving a medal for this while in the army. He was a church youth leader, a Deacon and served as a Sunday school teacher. At school he also coordinated a stamp club, a coin club and a bowling league. In 2004 he was inducted into the Shoot the Bull, Northwest IL Hall of Fame and was runner-up in 1979 for Illinois teacher of the year. George co-founded the Pearl City Park District and served as Mayor of Pearl City for 24 years.

Together George and Marilyn founded “Floral-Feather-Fin” and ran that business for 42 years. They had greenhouses that contained tropical plants, fruit trees and 1500 varieties of cactus. They also raised and sold birds and fish. Weddings and floral arrangements for many events were part of the business as well.

George is survived by his five children: Daniel (Ellen), Terilyn (Jim) Kennedy, Douglas (Kris), David (Barb), Donovan (Amy), daughter in-law Connie Visel, 20 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren, sisterin-law Sylvia Cotten, a niece and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife Marilyn, his parents, his mother and father in-law and sisterin-law Carolyn Delzell.

The family would also like to thank George’s caregiver, Uolianna Kravets, for her care and dedication to him over the last nine months.

A brief history of Father’s Day Compiled by Tony Carton EDITOR

Father’s Day is coming up, so in honor of dear old dad, we look into the history of Father’s Day. Sadly, retailers and marketers, in an effort to make a quick buck, have bastardized the original meaning of Father’s Day. A holiday that was supposed to honor dad and enumerate his special qualities, now is used to sell chili pepper ties and shop vacs.

Hopefully by understanding why the concept of Father’s Day was created, we can better celebrate and honor the fathers who raised us into men.

The History of Father’s Day in the United States There are two stories of when the first Father’s Day was celebrated.

According to some accounts, the first Father’s Day was celebrated in Washington state on June 19, 1910.

A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd came up with the idea of honoring and celebrating her father while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon at church in 1909. She felt as though mothers were getting all the acclaim while fathers were equally deserving of a day of praise (She would probably be displeased that Mother’s Day still gets the li-

due to some bad planning, the celebration in Spokane, Washington was deferred to the third Sunday in June.

The other story of the first Father’s Day in America happened all the way on the other side of the country in Fairmont, West Virginia on July 5, 1908. Grace Golden Clayton suggested to the minister of the local Methodist church that they hold services to celebrate fathers after a deadly mine explosion killed 361 men.

While Father’s Day was celebrated locally in several communities across the country, unofficial

support to make the celebration a national holiday began almost immediately. William Jennings Bryant was one of its staunchest proponents. In 1924, President Calvin “Silent Cal” Coolidge recommended that Father’s Day become a national holiday. But no official action was taken.

In 1966, Lyndon B. Johnson, through an executive order, designated the third Sunday in June as the official day to celebrate Father’s Day. However, it wasn’t until 1972, during the Nixon administration, that Father’s Day was officially recognized as a national holiday.

on’s share of attention).

Sonora’s dad was quite a man.

William Smart, a veteran of the Civil War, was left a widower when his wife died while giving birth to their sixth child. He went on to raise the six children by himself on their small farm in Washington. To show her appreciation for all the hard work and love William gave to her and her siblings, Sonora thought there should be a day to pay homage to him and other dads like him. She initially suggested June 5th, the anniversary of her father’s death to be the designated day to celebrate Father’s Day, but

Grandfathers are fathers who are grand, Restoring the sense that our most precious things Are those that do not change much over time.

No love of childhood is more sublime, Demanding little, giving on demand, Far more inclined than most to grant the wings Allowing us to reach enchanted lands.

Though grandfathers must serve as second fathers, Helping out with young and restless hearts, Each has all the patience wisdom brings, Remembering our passions more than others, Soothing us with old and well-honed arts.

who migrated in search of resources and opportunity, and those who live on and work the land as we know it today.

The camp will take place from 8:30 – 11:45 a.m. on June 18, 20, 21 and 22. It will run until 2 p.m. on June 19, for a field trip. To register, contact the Galena ARC at 815-7772248 or visit www.galenaarc.org/ camp-casper.
